Heck, if I knew where to look, I'd probably find the object without using a hint. I've already uninstalled it. Won't be buying this one.

But, unless I completely missed it twice, this one goes so quickly you can't see the area being circled unless you're looking at the right spot. There have been a couple of others like this.

Usually when I request a hint from a game, I don't focus on an area but sort of "zoom out" with my vision so I see the entire screen. Did that make sense? It's how I got through the chess game easily in Dream Chronicles 2. Maybe everyone just sees things differently? ETA: When it goes into "outline" mode (the hint circle), it stays there until you click on the object. I just tested it again now. Last edited by misa; 06/13/08 08:34 PM.

I also used more hints than I normally would and very early in the game. But that being said, I think I like it but I'm really not sure on this one. Usually I can make my mind up instantly if I'm going to buy a game or not, but this one I'm not sure. I think I'll wait a bit for some other comments before I make a decision. Maybe someone who has played a little longer can let us know if it gets better?

If the hint system was your main gripe, give it a go again and you'll see what I mean about the hint circle staying on screen until you click on it. Some of the objects are a little challenging to find but I don't mind. I don't like HOGs that are too easy.

Although I find some of the objects quite difficult, Misa I agree with you, I sort of like it better that way too. I don't like easy HOG either. But I must say, some are quite challenging and hair pulling. Anyway, Happy Gaming. OP I agree with the others, the cicle does stay on the screen for a bit...maybe something wrong with your game? Just a thought.

I haven't played it outside of relaxed mode but the way the game works is that you are playing against 2 other contestants and are supposed to find the objects before they do. I am assuming in relaxed mode, they won't win.
